Idea Horizon Vista Academy

Q: Is Idea Horizon Vista Academy a good school?

Idea Horizon Vista Academy ranks 3198 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Idea Horizon Vista Academy is a public charter elementary school in Horizon City, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population that is 94.95% Hispanic, the school faces unique challenges compared to the nearby H D Hilley Elementary, Robert R Rojas Elementary, and other schools in the Socorro Independent School District and Clint Independent School District.

Idea Horizon Vista Academy's student performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the Idea Public Schools district average and the state average across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school scored 42.86% proficient or better, compared to 47.04% for Idea Public Schools and 48.85% for Texas. The school also ranks lower than the state average for various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. However, the school appears to be providing better support for its special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking higher in these areas compared to its overall ranking.

Idea Horizon Vista Academy faces challenges in student performance, particularly in comparison to the surrounding public schools. The school's high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students may contribute to these performance gaps. With a relatively high student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than some nearby schools, the school may need to explore strategies to better serve its unique student population and improve overall academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
